Maybe we're a few months behind the curve on this band, but one viewing of Grouplove's "Tongue Tied" on KCRW's Morning Becomes Electric and we can see this band is a bouncy ball o' alt rock fun. We're more than happy to get on board the Grouplove party wagon immediately because it's going to be a fun ride. Lead singer Christian Zucconi's rasp borders on the edge of out-of-control (he sounds like a less rangy Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins), and Hannah Hooper's spunky little rap solo midway is the kind of unexpected twist you may come to expect from a Grouplove song.
Their self-titled EP (which debuted in January of this year) is strong top to bottom, and we highly recommend you Spotify "Don't Say Oh Well," "Naked Kids," and "Get Giddy." These upbeat songs are perfect for summertime cruising to nowhere particular with a car full of your best mates.
We see a huge splash for this band when their full-length album Never Trust A Happy Song is released in September. And it looks like you'll have to wait until then to get your hands on "Tongue Tied," as you can't get it on iTunes or Spotify at the moment.
